one minor annoyance that stems from the "info" format: the references

When writing a manual and using references, they are rendered differently in
each format (info/html/pdf).
The emacs info mode does a better job with references, so they look more like
they would in html.
This is true even if you run emacs in a terminal (with the -nw flag).
This is another reason to replace the info program with a wrapper round 'emaca
-nw'.
I guess one can always ignore the generated "info" format, and just ensure it looks good
on HTML/PDF - but is that a valid approach? e.g. I'm working on improving sed's manual - would it
be acceptable to say that sed-4.3's manual doesn't work with "info" ?
I wouldn't go as far as to say it "doesn't work", but I wouldn't spend time
worrying about it.
